I/o error when building in shared directory (windows host)

[bok11]

I am experienceing two errors when trying to build, first i get an error with IO:

ERROR: Build of do_configure failed
ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/workspaces/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/build.py", line 560, in exec_task
    return _exec_task(fn, task, d, quieterr)
  File "/workspaces/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/build.py", line 500, in _exec_task
    exec_func(func, localdata)
  File "/workspaces/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/build.py", line 229, in exec_func
    exec_func_shell(func, d, runfile, cwd=adir)
  File "/workspaces/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/build.py", line 365, in exec_func_shell
    os.mkfifo(fifopath)
OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error

I also seen a Socket error, but cannot reporudce taht on this machine (can on my home machine though)

To reproduce, do the following from a windows host:

docker run -v <local folder>:/workspaces -it gmacario/build-yocto
cd /workspaces
git clone -b jethro git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
cd poky
source oe-init-build-env build-test
bitbake -k core-image-minimal

If i save the files locally in the docker container, i do not see this issue (i run out of space though)

Hello,

Thanks for reporting.

As a matter of fact I have never used easy-build on Windows hosts.

Anyway by reading the errors in your logs it looks like the directory which you bind mounted from the Windows host to the container has some limitations with respect to a native Linux filesystem.

I would suggest to add some debugging messages to file /workspaces/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/build.py
